Transcript

00:00Hi, everybody. Welcome to Wednesday's House of Games.

00:12We are halfway through the week.

00:14Amazing stuff.

00:15And we've got a two-time winner already on our hands.

00:18Who is going to win this trophy?

00:20He is in pole position.

00:21Let's meet all four of our players, though, shall we?

00:23They are Melanie Bracewell.

00:24Yay!

00:26Mark Steele.

00:27Hello.

00:28Ruth Madeley.

00:30And Jenny Powell.

00:32Hi, everyone.

00:33Hello.

00:34Mark, you must be pretty pleased.

00:36Two wins.

00:37As I say, Richard, we're just taking it one at a time.

00:39One game at a time.

00:41We're not thinking about the end yet.

00:43That's far too far away.

00:44We've just got to concentrate on the next puzzle.

00:47You're like a 2022 Pep Guardiola.

00:50You really are.

00:51Jenny.

00:51Yeah.

00:52Now, we're going to take a look at the weekly leaderboards.

00:54Uh-huh.

00:54OK?

00:55You are at the bottom of it at the moment.

00:57That's OK.

00:57OK?

00:58But you're getting points every day.

00:59Yeah, I am.

01:00But there's just not enough of them, Richard.

01:02Not enough.

01:02That's exactly it.

01:03I'm a bit slow on the buzzer.

01:04I've had a word with myself.

01:06And I'm going to pick up the pace now.

01:08Yeah, listen.

01:09I've set myself up for a big fall, by the way.

01:11So long as you're enjoying yourself.

01:12Do you know what?

01:13I actually am.

01:14And I know that we are your favourite panellists so far this series.

01:17Oh, my God.

01:18Oh, my God.

01:18Like crazy.

01:19Let's take a look at today's prizes, though.

01:20Yes.

01:21Today's prizes are...

01:22Oh, OK.

01:23Wow.

01:23We have a planter.

01:24We've got the dartboard, the driving gloves, classic old school, House of Games, the glasses

01:29case, and a recipe book stand.

01:32Wow.

01:32That's new.

01:33I would not want that.

01:34Melanie, what would you go for?

01:36I feel like it feels like an attack for me to say the dartboard.

01:39I 100% want the dartboard.

01:41But it implies that I do want to throw sharp objects at your head.

01:45Yeah, but on the other side of the world.

01:46Yeah, OK.

01:47I like it.

01:48You don't have to know about that.

01:49Mark?

01:50I would have the dartboard.

01:51I don't have a dartboard at the moment.

01:52Yes.

01:52And I'm the big dartspan.

01:54There we go.

01:54Oh.

01:55Dartboard, dartboard, Ruth.

01:56Dartboard, purely because my best friend, one fell on her head, right?

02:01A dartboard?

02:02Honestly, I'm devastated that I wasn't there to see it.

02:05So I think if I get it, I think it could potentially happen again if I don't attach it to the wall properly.

02:10You were devastated you weren't there to see it.

02:12She was fine.

02:13She's fine.

02:15Jenny, what would you go for?

02:16Well, I can't say dartboard, can I?

02:17Yeah, of course you can.

02:18Can I?

02:18I'll have a dartboard as well.

02:20Shall we play House of Games?

02:21Yes.

02:21Let's do it.

02:21I mean, if we want to.

02:22Yeah, come on.

02:23Our first round today on Wednesday's House of Games is...

02:29Hidden in Plain Sight.

02:31Melanie, we start with you.

02:32We have a category.

02:33Your category today is mammals.

02:36I'm going to show you a clue about a mammal.

02:38The answer will be within the question.

02:40It will literally be spelled out in one of the words, between two of the words,

02:44but the answer will be in the question.

02:46It is hidden in plain sight.

02:48Mel, which mammal is this, please?

02:51I once watched a herd of these antlered animals stride erratically through the new forest.

03:02I believe it's a deer.

03:04And where is it?

03:06It's in between stride and erratically.

03:08There we go.

03:09Nice.

03:09There we go, deer.

03:10Well done.

03:12I wonder if Mark Steele can find a mammal so quickly.

03:15No, I won't find a mammal so quickly.

03:17Let's see, shall we?

03:19As Andean people have known for centuries,

03:22this pack animal can carry or pull a massive amount for its size.

03:29We will pass it across if you can't find it.

03:31Llama.

03:36Oh, well done.

03:37And llama is?

03:38Pull a massive.

03:39Pull a massive it is.

03:40Well played.

03:43Ruth.

03:44Yes.

03:44I wonder if you could find a mammal for me.

03:46I'm going to try.

04:00Wombat.

04:01Whoa.

04:02Whoa.

04:03Where's Wombat?

04:04The comma and everything.

04:05Wombat.

04:06Oh, Wombat.

04:07Yeah, Wombat.

04:08Oh, that's clever.

04:10And they poop cubes.

04:13No.

04:13Stop.

04:14Yeah.

04:14What, like a little oxo?

04:16Like, yeah, basically.

04:18Yeah.

04:18You don't want to give them the right off my coven's all the time.

04:20OK.

04:21That is the best thing I've learned since being here.

04:24Wow.

04:24I'm learning so much.

04:25Welcome to House of Games.

04:26I'm learning so much.

04:27Jenny.

04:28Yes.

04:28I wonder if you could find me a mammal.

04:30Whether to pull a plough or send cavalry into battle, humans have relied on this noble

04:36creature since ancient times.

04:41Horse.

04:42Where's the horse?

04:44Can you find a horse there?

04:48Yeah.

04:49Plough or send.

04:50Yes, absolutely right.

04:51Horse in plough or send.

04:53Very nicely done.

04:56Mel, we go back to you.

04:57No more mammals.

04:58What we want instead is painters' surnames.

05:04Here is your first painter.

05:06Gaze at this painter's work, Guernica, and decide for yourself whether it's as epic as so many

05:13people say.

05:19Picasso.

05:20Picasso.

05:21Epic as so.

05:22Absolutely right.

05:23They're very good.

05:24Well written, these questions.

05:24Yeah, they're very nice.

05:26Very clever.

05:26Picasso is in the middle of that.

05:28Mark, a painter's surname for you.

05:32Over the years, this British painter's screaming poop portraits have managed to disturb a considerable number of gallery goers.

05:39Bacon.

05:45Oh, very nice.

05:47Where is it?

05:48Disturb a considerable number.

05:49Absolutely right.

05:50Well done.

05:51Well done.

05:53You literally sounded like a man who'd just gone down to hotel breakfast.

05:55Bacon.

05:56Bacon.

05:58Ruth, a painter for you.

06:02When the pop art movement began post-war, holy images were out and symbols of consumer culture,

06:08such as this artist's tins of soup, were in?

06:16Warhol.

06:16And where is that?

06:17Post-war holy.

06:19Post-war holy, it is.

06:20That felt easier than bacon.

06:22Yeah, I'm really glad that wasn't my question.

06:24I wouldn't have got that.

06:25All you can do is answer the one in front of you.

06:27So we've got Jenny.

06:28Yeah.

06:29Are we going to go 100% on this round?

06:31We are.

06:31I'm ready.

06:32I'm ready.

06:32Let's do it.

06:32I'm on the way, Richard.

06:33Let's smash it.

06:33I like this attitude.

06:35What painter is hidden away here?

06:38If you like art made from cut-and-pasted paper, this format is seen in this French artist's

06:43later work, such as his Blue Nudes series.

06:53Mel's got her fingers on the buzzer.

06:54Shall we time you out, Jenny?

06:55Go for it, Mel.

06:56I'm giving it to you.

06:56You deserve it.

06:57We'll time you out.

07:00Mel.

07:00Matisse.

07:01Matisse.

07:02We were looking for it.

07:02And where is it?

07:03Format is seen.

07:04Format is seen, absolutely.

07:05A point to the end of the round.

07:07Well played.

07:09Let's take a look at the leaderboard.

07:11Ruth has been in the lead for the first round the last two days.

07:13I think Mel smushed it today.

07:14Not today.

07:15Jenny has one.

07:16Mark and Ruth have got two.

07:18Mel is in the lead with three points.

07:20Well done, Mel.

07:20Woo-hoo!

07:20Well done, Mel.

07:23Are you going to get your first win?

07:24Shall we play a pairs game?

07:26Yeah.

07:26Our pairs game on Wednesday's House of Games is...

07:32Oh, no.

07:35This round, I guarantee you, it's worse for me than it is for you.

07:39Jenny, you get to choose your partner today.

07:41Who would you like to play with?

07:42Right, I'll go with Mark.

07:44Oh, lovely.

07:44We haven't had that team yet.

07:45So, Mel and Jenny, if you will swap places, please.

07:48Why not?

07:49Mel and Ruth are a team.

07:51This is nice. You've been so far away.

07:53Yes, I know.

07:53It's all in German.

07:54It's all in German.

07:56Yes, no.

07:57Now, Jenny and Mark, you're a team.

07:59Ruth and Mel, you're a team.

08:00Now, in this round, every single question is in a foreign language.

08:03Okay, and the answers will be in a foreign language as well.

08:06Your category options are...

08:08Jenny and Mark.

08:23Mark, you said earlier in the week you speak...

08:25French.

08:25French?

08:26French.

08:26Hmm.

08:27Any of those look like French?

08:30Because then it would just be like answering a question in English.

08:33And on the other end, because I'm sort of sports obsessy, then...

08:37So, you've got the Olympics.

08:38Do you want to do that?

08:39Olympics might be...

08:41Go with your Olympi.

08:42Yeah.

08:43It is Italian for the Olympic Games.

08:47Here's your question.

09:15They're all bike things.

09:17Ciclismo supiste.

09:19C?

09:19What do you think the question is?

09:21What do you think the answer is?

09:21It's omnium and the Kirin speed racing types of what sort of Olympic sport?

09:29And you think ciclismo is cycling?

09:32Yeah.

09:32Let's find out.

09:33Is that correct?

09:35It is absolutely right.

09:37Very well done.

09:39The sprint, the omnium and the Kirin are specialities of which Olympic sport?

09:43Artistic gymnastics here, arrhythmic gymnastics,

09:45and modern pentathlon, track cycling.

09:48The answer there.

09:49Ruth and Mel, do either of you speak any foreign languages?

09:53No.

09:54No.

09:55No.

09:56I recognise some words, but...

09:59Yeah.

10:00What do we fancy then?

10:01My feeling is we go with one that we know what it says,

10:05because it's a language that's similar enough to English.

10:08But it's European geography.

10:08But I think...

10:09And that's...

10:10Europe is geography.

10:11Let's just go with that one.

10:13It is European geography in Swedish.

10:16Okay.

10:16Apologies...

10:17Oh, no.

10:18...to everybody for what's about to happen.

10:20Oh, good luck, Richard.

10:21Oh, no.

10:22Oh, no.

10:23Oh, no.

10:23Is your question.

10:31Something to Britain.

10:32Your possible answers are...

10:34Thameson, Rennes, Loire.

10:39Is it like, which was the longest?

10:41Like, Flodau would be like, river?

10:43Let's go for Thames.

10:44Is Thames the longest river?

10:46Like, is it the...

10:48I don't know what the other two are.

10:49I don't know what the other two are.

10:51Then, yeah, I think we'll go Thameson.

10:55We think it's, like, what is the longest river in Britain?

11:02Storbritannian.

11:03So, Thameson?

11:05It is the right answer.

11:06Very well done.

11:07You're absolutely right.

11:08So, the translation is,

11:09which of these major European rivers is in the UK?

11:13And it was the Thames.

11:14Okay, okay.

11:15The Ryan and the Loire were slightly easier to work out as well.

11:17That's not...

11:18We've not disgraced ourselves.

11:19Absolutely.

11:20Mark and Jenny, another choice from you, please.

11:24Is there anything French?

11:26Or shimmy could be.

11:27Shimmy or...

11:28What about anti-d...

11:28But, er...

11:29Okay, shimmy.

11:31And what is shimmy French for?

11:33I'm not even sure.

11:35Chemistry.

11:36Chemistry, I'd have thought.

11:37No, no, no.

11:38I thought it would be a dance move.

11:38I don't know.

11:39Here is Mark.

11:40Will you read the question out?

11:41Because my French is terrible.

11:42Okay.

11:42So, you read the question out and the answers.

11:44Which of these elements are not a metal?

11:56Is it le soufre, le platine, or le titan?

12:05I think le soufre is sulphur.

12:07Not sure.

12:09But I think...

12:09Titane?

12:11That's definitely a metal, isn't it?

12:12No, that's titanium.

12:13So, le soufre.

12:15Are you going to go for le soufre?

12:16Le soufre.

12:17Thinking that it is sulphur.

12:18Is le soufre the correct answer for a point?

12:21It is.

12:22Absolutely.

12:23Well done, guys.

12:24Which of these chemical elements is not a metal?

12:27You're absolutely right.

12:27Sulphur, platinum, and titanium.

12:31Final question of the round goes to Ruth and Mel.

12:33Which of these would you like?

12:34I don't actually know what, I mean...

12:36Historia della Reliefa.

12:38I mean, it's the only one that might help.

12:42We'll go for that, number five.

12:44Yeah, we're going for number five rather than reading it out.

12:46Yeah.

12:47Could you read it out for me?

12:48Um, I would, we don't have time.

12:52It is Spanish.

12:52Oh, please.

12:53Spanish from royal history.

12:55Okay.

12:56Royal history.

12:57And here's your question.

12:59Who was the British monarch that reigned immediately

13:05until Isabel II?

13:08The possible answers are...

13:11Jorge VI,

13:13Eduardo VII,

13:16Carlos III.

13:18Okay.

13:20So, Elizabeth II,

13:23who's immediately after Elizabeth II.

13:27Wait, is Elizabeth II just the queen?

13:29I thought she was the third, but is she the second?

13:31Second.

13:31So then, in which case, it's...

13:32Carlos as in Charles, right?

13:34It is immediately after, isn't it?

13:36Yeah, yeah, I think it'll be Carlos.

13:38Yeah, okay.

13:39Carlos.

13:40Yeah.

13:40You're going to go Carlos III.

13:42What do you think at home?

13:42Agree or disagree?

13:43Is that the correct answer?

13:46Uh-huh.

13:46It's not the correct answer.

13:47So, it must mean before.

13:49It must be before.

13:49It must do.

13:50Ah.

13:50Let's take a look, shall we?

13:51What was the question?

13:53Who was the British monarch before Elizabeth II?

13:56And it was Jorge VI.

13:59Very well done if you got that at home.

14:00Very nicely played.

14:01If you worked out it was before and not after,

14:03that was sneaky putting Carlos III there.

14:05I would have gone for that.

14:06Every day of the week.

14:07Mel and Jenny, if you've swapped places.

14:09Jenny, lovely to have you down this end of the studio.

14:10Nice to see you.

14:11See you again later in the week, by the way.

14:12Oh, that's so kind.

14:13Can't tell from down there.

14:14Likewise.

14:15Beautiful.

14:16All right.

14:17See you soon.

14:17Yeah.

14:18Welcome back, Ben.

14:19Sort of slips in the night.

14:20Missed you.

14:21Missed you.

14:21Absolutely gone for Charles III.

14:22Yeah.

14:23I would have done.

14:23Let's take a look at our leaderboards.

14:25It is very, very close today.

14:27Take a look at this one point between the lot of you,

14:31Melanie and Mark.

14:31The four each.

14:32Ruth and Jenny with three each.

14:33That's more like it.

14:34Let's play our next round, shall we?

14:36It is...

14:39Well done.

14:40If you said that at home,

14:41this is the round that our viewers at home help us with.

14:43The first thing they're going to help us with

14:45are some TV programmes.

14:47So, fingers on buzzers,

14:48we sent the names of some TV programmes

14:49to some of our viewers.

14:51They sent us back three words

14:52they associated with that TV programme.

14:54Oh, okay.

14:55Now, I'm going to show you a word cloud

14:56of all the words that they said.

14:58Starting with the very obscure ones,

15:00ending up with the ones that most people said.

15:02So, buzz in when you think you know

15:03which TV show our viewers at home

15:05are describing here.

15:07What a TV show is this.

15:11So, we start with the very obscure ones

15:14that very few people said.

15:15Gossip, happy old theme.

15:18Glasses.

15:19Corvette.

15:21America.

15:22That is Mel.

15:24Oh, now I'm saying America and Irish.

15:25It's confusing me.

15:27And I was going to say cheers.

15:28Is it cheers?

15:30It is cheers.

15:32Well done.

15:33Well played, I would not have got that.

15:35It is cheers.

15:37Next one.

15:39Boots.

15:40Music, ten jumps, prime glamour, heartless, accidents, dangerous costumes.

15:55Yes, Mel.

15:56Is it jackass?

15:59Jackass?

15:59No, Roger.

16:01It is not I'm afraid.

16:05Yes, Mark.

16:06Strictly Come Dancing.

16:07Is it strictly come dancing?

16:08It is not I'm afraid.

16:11Yes, Ruth.

16:12Dancing on ice.

16:13I think the slippery was the...

16:14It was the bolero that got me.

16:16Oh, bolero, of course.

16:17Is it dancing on ice?

16:19It is dancing on ice.

16:21Well done.

16:22Skate celebrity slippery.

16:24Yeah, bolero.

16:25Very nicely done.

16:26Which TV programme is this, please?

16:29Destiny drama.

16:36Blonde stunts fighting 90s.

16:39Evil blood graveyard.

16:42Cult watcher hunter.

16:46Librarian, Mark.

16:47Buffy the Vampire Slayer.

16:48Buffy the Vampire Slayer.

16:50It absolutely is.

16:52Supernatural Teenagers in Sunnydale, Buffy the Vampire Slayer.

16:55The next thing we sent to our viewers at home

16:58were the name of some books.

16:59And they gave us three words to describe those books.

17:02But which books are they?

22:23Hmm.

22:24SOS, Obi-Wan Kenobi, Turkey 2, David Schwimmer, November, C.

23:10Oh, no!

23:11It's M!

23:12That's exactly what he said.

23:13It's C, I got the turkey and the two mixed up, I think.

23:15Is it M?

23:16No, it's C, it's C.

23:17Yeah, it is C, I just said two and three.

23:18Did you say X?

23:19I said C, but I had turkey and two.

23:21I'm afraid, so everyone got it wrong.

23:23Oh, yes.

23:24I'm afraid I was looking for SOS, Obi-Wan Kenobi 2, Turkey, David Schwimmer, November, C.

23:30C.

23:37No!

23:38Just one round to go.

23:39Is Mark going to make it three in a row?

23:41I wonder.

23:42He is in pole position because Jenny has three, Ruth has six, Melanie has seven, Mark Steele

23:47has eight points.

23:49It's a one point lead into our final round.

23:50He's good at the final round as well.

23:52We know that.

23:53It's about to be a hat-trick of wins.

27:34You've got to do it.

27:35You've got to be in the business.

27:36Mark?

27:37I feel slightly guilty...

27:38No.

27:39..at winning a dartboard in such a way.

27:41No, it's fear.

27:57Two days to go, but we've got Double Points Friday coming up as well.

28:00Mark's got a three-point lead that can all disappear.

28:02Double Points Friday makes a huge amount of difference as well.
